The Japanese tea ceremony (??, chad? or sad?, "the way of tea") is a traditional ritual influenced by Zen Buddhism in which powdered green tea, or matcha (??), is ceremonially prepared by a skilled practitioner and served to a small group of guests in a tranquil setting. Colloquially it is often called ocha among Japanese.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matcha is made from high grade green tea. It is prepared in a grinded form, so basically you are drinking the whole leaf… which means you are getting the whole goodness of green tea.
EARTH is the source of ceramics, tea’s adornment.
METAL is the resource from which kettles are fashioned.
WATER, in its purest form, is ‘the friend of tea’
WOOD is the substance from which tea is born
FIRE is the ‘teacher of tea’ in that it moulds tea’s character
during processing and again during its brewing.
Water and fire interact to release the hidden potentials of the leaf.
